Sometimes you need a quick vacation, but you only have a weekend free. There are several options that can make a weekend getaway feel as refreshing and energizing as a full week away from home. Weekend excursions can be less expensive but just as rewarding as long summer vacations.
Somewhere Near
Many people tend to overlook the travel destinations that are closest to their homes. Think about what you would show to someone who came to visit you from another city. Your local area probably has several museums, theme parks, zoos, and other destinations that offer entertainment away from the house. Every state houses several national parks, as well. Visit your state’s tourism website to see if there is something you would like to visit that is within easy driving distance. If you find something in your own hometown, consider booking a hotel room across town so that it feels like a real getaway.
Somewhere Far
A weekend can be plenty of time to visit somewhere that is further than you can travel by car in one day. Most airports offer inexpensive commuter flights to cities that are within a few hundred miles. Look into a weekend vacation to a large city that is within a 30 minute flight from your home airport. The flight will not take up all of your play time, but you will definitely feel like you have left all the cares of home behind you when you step off of the airplane in a different city.
Driving Getaways
If you have a family, one of the most memorable types of weekend getaways is to drive to a nearby attraction for an overnight stay. Find a camping ground or an amusement park that is within a couple of hours of home, then spend Saturday morning driving with your family. Make sure you stop at roadside attractions, such as historical markers or farmer’s markets. The trip will be memorable for everyone in the family. Driving getaways, even if they are only for the weekend, are an inexpensive and effective way to break out of the regular routine and get everyone in the family talking to one another again.
Planning the perfect weekend getaway can be as simple as getting in the car and going somewhere more exciting than home. The joy created by an unexpected mini-vacation benefits couples with or without children and gives everyone involved something to remember during the challenging week that follows the getaway. A perfect weekend getaway has a few simple ingredients needed to make it deserve the name perfect. The ingredients vary per family but no matter what they are, they’ll create maximum happiness when the family car is on its way out of town for adventure. Perfect Place It’s not possible to get away until there’s somewhere perfect to get away to. It can be as simple or elaborate as the family decides. If the mood is right, sometimes a movie in a new town is as exciting as a walk on the beach. During the week, take a few notes on family mood and find out what might make the perfect place to get away to during the approaching weekend. Perfect Time A perfect weekend getaway always takes place on the weekend, but to be perfect, it has to be the right weekend. It can’t fall during a weekend when a spouse arrives home, puts on pajamas, and announces a three day television marathon. The right weekend won’t be noticeable until Friday. The post-work mood should be visible by then. For a surprise getaway, it’s perfectly fine to arrive home and announce that everyone in the house is about to leave for a great weekend. An hour or two of dedicated packing and the whole family is ready for adventure. Perfect Reasons The perfect reasons are always the same: - Get away from stress - Break routine - Make life an adventure again - Experience something new with loved ones The right place, time, and reasons will create a memorable adventure for a family that needs it. Work is tough. School is tough. Getting away from it all isn’t so tough. If a week gets the best of the family, it’s always possible to turn to the spontaneous weekend getaway to make things right again. No one will be sorry for the idea.
